I work with adults of all ages in my practice and I utilize a combination of cognitive, experiential, somatic, and solution focused interventions. I am also trained in and offer EMDR.

And I show up to sessions not only with the expected professional training and experience (in Somatic Experiencing, SE Touch and EMDR, mostly), but also with a compassionate, empathic nervous system.
Human? That's a hard job sometimes. But you're piloting this amazing machine than can help you succeed: your nervous system. Understanding and regulating how your system responds to stress, connects to people, and helps you reach your goals can make human-ing feel just a little bit easier.

I utilize a vast toolbox from over 30 years experience integrating traditional psychotherapy (CBT), EMDR/ EMDR Intensives (reprocessing method for emotional pain/trauma), Mindfulness Based Therapeutic Yoga Tools (breathwork, intentional mindset, meditation) all from a neuroscience, Polyvagal Theory informed care which elevates the healing process.
Welcome to an Empowerment Journey.

My passionate approach fosters an inner ability for healing by focusing on awareness and action change. The foundation I utilize is "client centered" using an eclectic eye for which tools/methods would be most helpful for each client in psychotherapy sessions.

As a Certified IFS Therapist, EMDR-approved consultant, and Level II ADEP, I work primarily in psychotherapy models (IFS, EMDR, and AEDP) that invite the opportunity to experientially understand and transformationally shift some ways you may be experiencing concerns and disturbances in your life.
As a relentlessly compassionate experiential psychotherapist, I want to provide you a new experience, an experience that is good and allows you to experience yourself in a new way that feels connected, seen, heard, and understood. If talk therapy hasn't been sufficient in the past for anxiety, trauma, self-esteem/self-concept concerns, or difficulties in your relationships. Consider calling me. The specialty populations I serve are other therapists, physicians and medical professionals, college-age students and emerging adults, the LQBTQIA+ community, and those dealing with grief and relationship problems.

I'm trained in trauma processing modalities including EMDR, and in the past ran a couple residential & outpatient substance & mental health facilities.
Are you looking for a therapist that feels relatable and like a real person? If you're anything like I was when I first saw a therapist as a young adult, you crave that authenticity from your counselor. I promise to never ask you "and how does that make you feel?" with a straight face. Don't get me wrong, I *will* ask about your feelings, but I'm not into going through the motions and acting a role. Do you want to spend the time and effort it takes to get down past surface symptoms to the real deep work, to be able to live more comfortably in your own skin, to be able to feel your emotions, not just think them? If so, contact me.

Most of my clients are highly sensitive people who have strong intuition and want to work in a deep way. They often are therapists, healers, psychics and people for whom direct experience spirituality is important. Many of them have experienced talk therapy and want to go deeper, recognizing that the roots of most emotional or cognitive issues are below ordinary consciousness. They are seeking life-changing experience rather than mental insight. They appreciate a therapist who can see and acknowledge their inherent wisdom and power as a soul, and they are seeking a therapist who is highly trained and also works intuitively.

In over ten years of practice, I've noticed many people seek therapy for a few main reasons: A breakdown of trust and communication in intimate relationships; One's past experiences are negatively affecting present reality; Loneliness and disconnection; and a need for a sense of purpose. Of course, there are others, but the reasons I mention show up often. I attribute much of the distress I see in others to self-worth issues. Generally, worthiness is neither modeled nor nurtured in our culture.
